Chapter 180 The Order of Five Kills

Xiao Chen brought his personal bodyguard, Li Yuanba, to the outside of the hall surrounded by a large number of officials.

At this time, Yan Qing was leading the army to detain the court officials who arrived late at the bottom of the stone steps.

The late-arriving official who was full of anger and was arguing with Yan Qing, when he saw Xiao Chen came out, he immediately roared at him as if the creditor had found the debtor.

"Emperor, what do you mean, why did you send these people to arrest me, what did I do wrong?"

"Emperor, just as soon as you ascended the throne, you killed ministers indiscriminately and excluded dissidents. Are you right the ancestors of the Dazhou royal family?"

"My colleagues, are you just watching this little emperor kill courtiers indiscriminately? Look, the front of the Golden Palace is stained red with blood!"

Before these officials came to the Golden Palace, they saw the officials who were escorted out of the main hall and executed in front of the hall, and they were immediately angry and panicked.

It is a pity that these officials who came out with Xiao Chen dodged their eyes and did not look at them.

Seeing these court officials who are righteous and awe-inspiring, Xiao Chen only felt amused in his heart.

If he didn't know the details of these people, Xiao Chen might really think that these people are loyal ministers. It's really moving to see how they are not afraid of power and just admonish them.

Xiao Chen waved his hand, Yan Qing's soldiers stopped catching these officials, but they still surrounded them.

"Hmph, you can still recognize the situation."

Minister of Punishment Guo Congjian straightened his clothes and looked up at Xiao Chen with a proud face.

"Emperor, now we can go in! Get these people out of the way."

A gray-haired old man stooped and trembled as he said, this is a gentleman of the Ministry of Rites, and one of the most senior people in the court.

However, Xiao Chen didn't let them go as they thought. Instead, he stood on the steps with an inexplicable expression, looking down at everyone and said, "My lords, do you know what crime you committed?"

Feng Wei and others who asked this question were somewhat inexplicable.

Today is your first court meeting, what crime can we commit.

"I would like to ask, Your Majesty, what crime did we commit?" Guo Congjian asked with a sneer.

Xiao Chen didn't answer, but asked Shen Changwen who was following behind him: "Sir Shen, tell me, what crime did they commit?"

Shen Changwen felt a little confused by Xiao Chen's sudden inquiry.

I didn't do anything! How can this involve me.

However, he was also frightened by Xiao Chen's previous murder without blinking his eyes, so he didn't have the guts to not answer.

Otherwise, I don't know what hat I'm going to be put on again?

He bravely walked to Xiao Chen's side, cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, I think, I think, they must have committed the crime of delay, right?"

"delay?"

An absurd thought flashed through Guo Congjian's mind, how could this be considered a crime?

"Your Majesty, since we have all committed the crime of delay, I am here to accompany you, and please forgive me."

Although he was very dissatisfied with Xiao Chen's random conviction, how could people not bow their heads under the eaves and accommodate him first.

Guo Congjian felt that he could apologize to Xiao Chen, which had given him enough face.

"I am late, please forgive me!"

The other courtiers who arrived late pretended to bow to Xiao Chen and apologize.

"Forgiveness?"

Xiao Chen sneered and said to Yan Qing, "Xiao Yi, I will execute all these disobedient ministers on the spot."

What? Is this going to kill?

Guo Congjian was extremely shocked, raised his head and roared: "Emperor, what do you mean, there is no law in Dazhou, and you will be executed for being late. You are charged with disorderly peace, and I will not accept it!"

Feng Wei also protested: "Emperor, just because of this trivial matter, you are going to put all of us to death. You are fooling the king, how to convince the public!"

"My lords, you are talking! You can't let the emperor mess around, otherwise there will be no rules in Da Zhou."

It's just that what makes them desperate is that these courtiers who played with them on weekdays to fight against the emperor's tricks, and played superbly, all bowed their heads, and no one stood up to argue for them.

Even Shen Changwen stood back in the ranks of the courtiers, avoiding their sight and not looking at them.

"Da Zhou's law? Do you still know Da Zhou's law?"

At this time, Xiao Chen's icy voice sounded, attracting all the courtiers' eyes.

"Guo Shangshu, do you know what the crime of resisting the decree is in Da Zhou's law?"

Xiao Chen stood on the steps, looking down at Guo Congjian with an indifferent expression.

"Defy the decree and kill! But when will I ever resist the decree?" Guo Congjian stared at Xiao Chen and asked through gritted teeth.

The other officials who were late also stared at Xiao Chen angrily.

Xiao Chen said indifferently: "I said yesterday that in the early morning today, all those who are not available or late will be killed without mercy. Why, aren't my words considered an imperial edict?"

"you……"

Guo Congjian wanted to argue, but found that what he said now seemed to be very pale, and Xiao Chen made it clear that he wanted to kill them.

Feng Wei said with a sad face: "Emperor, I can see it clearly, what is resisting the decree, what is being late, you are determined to kill us, the crime or whatever, it doesn't matter."

Xiao Chen did not speak, it was a default.

So what if you admit it, the road to the emperor is a road paved with bones.

Which emperor ascends the throne, not killing countless people, his hands covered with blood, Xiao Chen is also the same.

He waved his hand, and Yan Qing and his sergeants instantly launched the massacre of the courtiers.

"Ah! Xiao Chen, you have to die!"

"Xiao Chen! I curse you to die without a corpse!"

"Xiao Chen! You tyrant!"

The court minister, who knew he had no way out, completely removed his disguise and shouted loudly at Xiao Chen.

However, the scolding was quickly covered up by the screams. Although these civilians had cultivation bases, they were all martial disciples and military soldiers.

With the strength of Yan Qing and the assistance of Zhang Liao and others, twenty or thirty court officials were slaughtered in just a few breaths.

The blood stained the entire stone steps red.

Disgusting blood filled the air for a long time.

In front of the majestic Golden Throne Hall, it became the execution ground for the executioner.

The bodies of dozens of ministers were spread all over the ground, making people shudder to see.

The surviving ministers looked at Xiao Chen's not-so-tall back, and a sense of fear arose in their hearts.

This iron-blooded and cruel boy has broken their inherent cognition of the emperor.

"From today onwards, the highest article of the Great Zhou Law, the words of the emperor, override everything!"

"Today, I have set the order of five killings, and I hope that all the ministers will do it well!"

"Those who disobey the emperor, who are disobedient to the decree, kill!"

"Neglect of duty, those who violate the law, kill!"

"Form a party for selfishness, disrupt the government, kill!"

"Oppress the people, corrupt people, kill!"

"Those who conspire against rebellion and fornicate with the enemy country, kill!"

"This five-kill order, please keep it in your heart, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Xiao Chen's icy voice drifted over the palace, and all the officials had a thought in their hearts.

The day of the big week is really going to change completely.
